El CupAJoe Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I bought a hip flask for a water bottle when I was in college, it was a dry campus so I got lot's of chuckles when I'd pull it out during long engineering classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Looking at the price of the flask vs. the price of the filler the filler costs more than the flask. I mean what are you going to do put it in a paper cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The best part is where I read that each piece is handcrafted in the U.S.A. That makes a purchase more than worth it. I am happy to pay more if it is made in the U.S.A. I pay more for my blue-jeans, which are made in the U.S.A. My winter coat is. My boots are. My cowboy hat is. My antique iron spurs are. My Dad's silver spurs are. My chaps are. My old Wah-hoo (now labeled "Wah-Maker) pillow ticking shirt is. My Colts are. My Winchester is. My Shotgun is (model '87, and Parker Brothers). Hey cheye-knee....you can kiss my rebel...grits!!!! (and you can keep yer virus too). Like the Henry F.A. Company states:..."Made in America...Or Not Made At All".

I do have a an SF flask. Not as classy but serviceable. So maybe the Garryowen will go on this one. I have retreated through to the man cave.
